‘The O.C.’ Season 1, Episode 13 “The Best Chrismukkah Ever”
Alan Sepinwall’s Welcome to the O.C.: The Oral History recently inspired a rewatch of Josh Schwartz’s legendary 2000s drama starring Mischa Barton, Ben McKenzie, Rachel Bilson, and Adam Brody, and the timing couldn’t be better. Why? Because Chrismukkah season is upon us once again! So it’s time to put on some Death Cab, wrap your Seth Cohen starter packs, and watch one of TV’s most iconic holiday episodes. Buckle up for some seasonal shoplifting, another elaborate Newport bash, and a night of Seth trying (and failing) to date both Anna and Wonder Woma— I mean, Summer. There’s drama! There’s romance! There’s heartwarming holiday cheer! What more could you ask for? Oh, you wanted to meet Oliver Trask? No! No one wants that. But The O.C. packs it in anyway. It should go without saying, but California (and Chrismukkah) here we come!
